PGJE's Morales reports the bodies before their arrival

At the intersection of colonias Los Arcos and Miravalle, south of Saltillo, the dismembered bodies of two men were left  next to the wall of an elementary school each one with a message, .

The bodies were in the middle of the pavement at the intersection of boulevard Diamante, Alejandrina and Arco Suizo.

Strangely, according to elements of the State Investigative Police, they were alerted about the "discovery" of the two bodies, provided with  much detail by the Regional Delegate PGJE Claudia Elodia Brondo Morales , and apparently to soon, for  when they arrived the bodies were not there yet.

"Well, you saw that we went around three times and went through the same place three times, and it wasn´t until the third that the bodies were here, it is odd that the delegate knew even how they were dressed and how they were wrapped, and insisted so much in sending us to the exact point, but worst is that she sent us there even before the bodies had been dumped" said one of the detectives.

NEIGHBOR FINDS THEM

 While they were searching, a man who passed by and saw the bodies went in his car to give notice to the Municipal Police, at the South Delegation facilities in Echeverria and Libertad.

The policemen on duty passed the report to the State Emergency System 066 and then it was confirmed that ministeriales detectives had already located such bodies.

Although the statement that sent the Attorney General of the State mentioned that the discovery was made at 02:00 hours on Wednesday, actually happened at 00:30 am, shortly after that neighbor reported it to the Municipal Police.

The bodies were found at the edge of the ridge near Arco Suizo, one was on a bedspread with its mutilated limbs surrounding the body, the other body was on top of a black bag and there were sheets on the sidewalk. The messages were placed on top of the bodies and by when the bodies were taken they remained unidentified.

oops! Claudia Morales of PGJE  sent authorities for the bodies before their arrival
